MongoDB Kotlin Driver

Welcome to the documentation site for the Kotlin Driver, the official MongoDB driver for server-side Kotlin applications that use coroutines. Download the driver by using Maven or Gradle, or set up a runnable project by following our Quick Start guide.

Tip

Other Kotlin Platforms for MongoDB

If your Kotlin application requires synchronous processing, use the Sync Driver, which uses synchronous operations to make blocking calls to MongoDB.

If you are developing an Android or Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) application, you can use the MongoDB Atlas Device Kotlin SDK to access Atlas App Services and to manage your Realm data.

Learn how to establish a connection to MongoDB Atlas and begin working with data in the Quick Start section.

See driver syntax examples for common MongoDB commands in the Quick Reference section.

For a list of new features and changes in each version, see the What's New section.

For fully runnable code snippets and explanations for common methods, see the Usage Examples section.
